Culture of the United States

The United States is a nation of immigrants, and the formation of American culture is closely related to these immigrants. Immigrants came to this fertile land of North America with their cultural traditions, which created the unique immigrant culture of the United States. The immigrants into all areas of life in the United States that impacted on the American society. Meanwhile, it also changed the inherent way of life to a certain extent, and it also created a common culture, which was the one

how dissimilar some countries can be from the United States. Jamaica was not unlike the United States in a terrible way, but the disparities made me additionally interested in researching about the beautiful and culture-rich country of Jamaica. Even though the majority of facts about the history and culture of the United States and Jamaica are dissimilar, I was surprised to come across some similarities among these two countries.

multitude of factors including cultural differences. Culture has an immense impact on society. It dictates how the population acts and thinks. In the United States, individualism is prominent; people are expected to look after themselves, driven by personal goals. In contrast, Japan’s society adheres to collectivism; groups, often families, will take care of one another, driven by common goals (Triandis, 1972). I believe these differing culture “personalities” lead to stark differences in childhood

The Unites States is a true melting pot of ethnicities and cultures. For many members of minority groups a certain hybridity is readily adopted, but for others, cultural assimilation can be quite difficult. Chicana author, Sandra Cisneros described this phenomenon as “always straddling two countries… but not belonging to either culture” (Doyle. 54).

United States have a long history of diversity and now, it became the most globalized country in the world. However, as a nation got a lot of races, there are some public opinion about a sense of national identity. Some say they will lose their identity, and some say not. But, in spite of doubt on the stability of identity, they will have an identity even in the next generation.

Culture change in the United States could take centuries, but it must be initiated before it can be reached, and it must be initiated through communication and involvement if it is to work.

Cultural Communications Culture is the people’s identity. Traditions, norms and society values determine how best parents bring up their children. Interactions among individuals from different cultures are platforms for acceptance and understanding among people.

The effect of American culture in other countries is very controversial. Many people believe it has a negative influence and others believe it is very positive. I believe it is positive because America’s culture is a mixed pot and it does not influence other country’s cultures as much as some people think.

Of the many cultural differences that existed between these two population groups Europeans

The culture differences between the United States and China This year is my forth year that I has been studying in the United State. I’m already used to the U.S. culture and the U.S. living style. So in general, I didn’t experience any culture shock after I got here. If I had any culture shock, it’s probably three years ago. I couldn’t remember any of them. However I do have some thoughts about the differences between the U.S. and China after four years of studying in the United States. From what
